2014-01-28
hey everyone this is Steve from gamers next astana and once again in the AC suite I am joined by Nick modjeska Vick yeah technical marketing specialist at asu's so we are going to be talking about some of the terminology and branding from other boards today I know about a year ago there were all these LX le different different suffixes for the boards and I think a couple of you said it was kind of confusing it's gotten simpler now but just break it down for us real quick what you know what all the different letters mean sure I'll use the z87 chipset as an example that watch launches past summer so is the 87 for example we'll have the mainstream series which are the ones with the gold accents now we'll have z87 - a through K with a being the top the top end and K being the bottom end and then from there you'll move to z87 + Pro and deluxe in that order and that's the whole mainstream line that's the with the gold accents from there we have two other lines there's the tough line with the sabre-tooth motherboard that's been out a few years and then we've also gone with a micro ATX entry now into the tough series so we have the Griffin so we have the z87 sabertooth and Griffin and that's meant more for heavy usage all the materials are rated for very long lasting hours and then from there we go to the ROG the game the gaming products right and we now have a new edition this year in ROG the hero which is on the lower end of of ROG and then we have the gene of course and then depending on whether it's the enthusiast chipset which would be like LG LJ 2011 X 79 or whether it's z 87 which is right below it'll be either rampage extreme or Maximus formula very cool so there you have it pretty straightforward now and as always check the link below if you want some more details some more links and we will see you all next
